The nut and bolt are both 15mm? Alrighty, now, how do you get a rusty old nut to budge?


I used a little backwoods muscle to break them loose... However, I did feel unfomfortable doing it -- the entire exhaust system moved at the slightest push... So be careful!

I supported my exhaust system using some wooden blocks so that it wouldn't move around too much while attempting to remove the bolts. (I also worried about the exhaust system moving around so much from cranking on the bolts)
I parked my car in an incline going into my garage so I had a couple more inches to work underneath the car. Still no luck getting them to budge.
I'll have to try the PB Blaster. This is getting frustrating. :squint:

You might not be able to get them out without breaking them. I too took it to Midas to remove the bolts. They had to use the torch. I ended up not paying anything for it because they like the car.
